When I saw you on the street

I almost turned away

When you stared in disbelief

Because I smiled and waved

Oh, the years have turned my bitterness

Into a sad regret

And it's good to finally talk to you

And lay our past to rest

'Cause I have changed and you have changed

And all is forgiven now

And a long and silent last embrace

Shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little

I know where it comes from

These tears of sadness and relief

When love dies in your arms

You were once my deepest pain

But you were once my friend

And a part of me was holding on

Till I saw you again

I couldn't bear to see it end

With rage and jealousy

A feeling once so beautiful

Should die with dignity

And I have changed and you have changed

And all is forgiven now

And a long and silent last embrace

Shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little

I know where it comes from

These tears of sadness and relief

When love dies in your arms

When love dies in your arms
